Everything you posted looks fine, I tried it out in AIX 5.3 reading the email with outlook and all worked as expected.

There must be some issue with embedding \n in the subject, it's a bit of a kludge and perhaps HPUX is stripping out everything after the \n

Why not try:
Code:
echo "Just testing" | mailx -s "Another test
X-Priority: 1 (Highest)" receiver@host.com

and see if you can set the high priority flag.
